Ted,
	You are right to worry about this issue.  The reason I've not
done more complex filter tests is that in order to get a number of
products to compair I have to go to the simple type of filter that
most of them support.  I ain't happy with that since I feel that
the use of access filters to provide a 1st cut at security can be
quite important.  If you (or anyone) has some suggestions about
just what type of filters that I should include in the next series of
tests please let me know.

Scott
